Good pal drives 50 miles to give his friend a banana

Friendship and snack goals = achieved.

The best way to test a friendship is to ask your friend to drive 50 miles to give you a single banana.

That's just what 21-year-old Martin Peredo -- who's been friends with 20-year-old Justin Mendoza for over a decade -- did.

While he was studying in a local Starbucks, Peredo texted Mendoza to ask if he could bring him a study snack.

"Idk. Anything. Wing Stop. A banana. Idc," he said.

And while Mendoza briefly protested, he did end up getting in the car and bringing Martin a banana -- from over 50 miles away.

This might seem like a lot of miles -- perhaps too many miles -- for one banana, and that's because it is. But, according to BuzzFeed, it's also the distance Peredo and Mendoza usually travel to see each other.

Also, they ended up getting wings.
